ES2231025A1 - After surgery fabric based knee support includes fabric containing elastomer with a knee tendon protector and a thigh strap - Google Patents

Abstract

The after-surgery knee support incorporating fabric has an assembly and disassembly mechanism made of fabric containing elastomer. The support has a patelle zone (1), a lateral zone (2), a bar (3), and a rear zone (4), supplementing a thigh strap (7) with an internal fabric zone (5), and a top fabric zone (6) with a knee tendon protection fabric.

Description

Post-surgical knee brace with antiambolic mean.

Object of the invention

The present specification refers to a application for an Invention Patent corresponding to a post-surgical knee brace with anti-embolism stocking, whose purpose is to allow its application in processes post-surgical knee interventions, in which is necessary to apply a knee brace to hold The intervened part.

The invention is also capable of being used in different post-operative processes, where the patient has to be in bed during a period of weather.

Field of the Invention

This invention has its application within the industry dedicated to the manufacture of therapeutic material and orthopedics.

Background of the invention

The applicant has knowledge of the existence at present of a large number of averages elastic that have similar characteristics to those described herein, as well as numerous knee pads of compression.

However, on the part of the applicant ignores the existence of an invention that brings together in context the characteristics derived from an average and a knee pad.

Description of the invention

The post-surgical kneepad with antiambolic medium that the invention proposes, is configured as a media with decreasing compression from the toes to the intramuslo, which aims to avoid all venous stasis.

More specifically, the knee brace post-surgical with antiambolic mean object of the invention is constituted from a body of material textile, elastic nature configured as a stocking with a decreasing compression, to which it is attached solidarity a kneepad that presents different areas of compression, so that it can adapt so convenient to the knee previously intervened, and facilitate the recovery of the patient surgically intervened in the knee.

The average in its lower part presents a opening that allows the patient's fingers to be removed from the stocking, for observation and verification of venous circulation arterial, without having to fully remove the stocking and kneepad compression, to perform this check.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, is accompanied herein descriptive, as an integral part of it, a sheet of plans in which with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, represented the following:

Figure number 1.- Represents a view in side elevation of the object of the invention corresponding to a post-surgical knee brace with stocking antiambólica.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in figure number 1, the post-surgical knee brace with anti-embolism stocking It is formed by a body of textile material and elastomers coated with double and simple coverage that is configured as a kneepad in which a media with a diminishing understanding from the toes to the intramuslo.

The kneepad has several specific areas for a degree of elasticity, such as the zone (1) constitutive of the kneecap area that has between 120% and 200% elasticity (in warp), while the lateral one (2) incorporates between 100% and 140% elasticity (in warp), having a rod (3) with an elasticity (in warp) that ranges between 50% and 100%, while on the part (4) located behind the kneecap (1), elasticity (in warp) It ranges between 120% and 200%.

In zone (5) and (6), elasticity (in warp) It is between 40% and 80%.

It should be noted that on the opposite side of the belt (7), below the zone or band (6), a transverse zone (8) of dimensions close to the waistband (7), but of smaller width.

The waistband (7) is folded and joined by transfer to avoid curls.

The inner area of the waistband (7) may be equipped with adhesive areas configured as silicone, with in order to implement the zone (7) for its internal area to get a better grip on the user's leg and avoid consequently the kneepad area slides in direction vertical descending

The zone (3) constituting the rod is made of a patellar tendon protective fabric and with a elasticity (in warp) of 60% - 90%.

In the zone (7) corresponding to the waistband of the thigh is incorporated on the inside, a few drops of silicone to allow better support to the leg and prevent the kneepad falls.

It should also be noted that the invention presents as a fundamental characteristic, the fact that in the area of union of the middle and the kneepad, it is done by means of a fabric that allows its cutting and separation in such a way that once the user stops being bedridden, can separate the two pieces and use only the knee brace for knee recovery or part intervened, without causing said cut any skinning that damage the kneepad.

The stocking and knee brace are made with a weave elastomer fabric, that is, a fabric composed of a weft of expadex or elastomer with double or simple cover of polyamide or other yarn.

The warp is formed, woven with polyamide and elastomer coated with double or single cover and fabric with smooth point.
